"Your car?"
Ning Keke looked at the Range Rover in the parking lot, her delicate face filled with surprise.
Xiao Zhi, the sales department manager, also looked at Lin Yi in shock. What's going on? A Range Rover worth over two million?
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Uh... a friend's, borrowed it for a couple of days."
Is being rich so painful? You can't even show off your good car!
There was no way around it; Ning Keke was too familiar with him. Both of them knew each other's family situations very well.
Given Lin Yi's situation, suddenly being able to afford a Range Rover was simply... a miracle!
Ning Keke and Xiao Zhi thought to themselves, this is more like it!
Ning Keke gave Lin Yi a few meaningful looks. It seemed that this guy's disappearance for over half a month and his switch to being a live streamer wasn't without reason. It looked like he had some potential, which led to this decision.
He didn't remember Lin Yi having any friends who could lend him a Range Rover for a couple of days. It must be related to his sudden career change.
Lin Yi drove, taking Ning Keke and Xiao Zhi to the bar they had visited the night before.
At this moment, the bar hadn't opened yet. The three of them entered through the back door. Xiao Zhi gave a cigarette to the man at the door and said with a smile, "Brother, we're from Tianyi Decoration Company. We made an appointment with Boss Dong yesterday."
Hearing that it was an appointment, the man didn't dare to delay. He took out his phone and made a call. After hanging up, he said to Lin Yi and the others, "Follow me."
Lin Yi, Ning Keke, and Xiao Zhi followed the man up to the third floor. The man knocked on the door, and a lukewarm voice came from inside the office: "Come in."
The man went in first and said to the person sitting in the office chair, "Boss, I've brought them."
Lin Yi felt a bit amused. "Boss"? It was said that Dong Fei, Dong Heizi, had some dark background. It seemed that wasn't just a rumor; it felt like a scene from a gangster movie.
When he heard that Ning Keke was going to discuss business with Dong Fei, he volunteered to come along, thinking that with the help of "Brother Long," he might be able to assist Ning Keke.
Ning Keke's company was a decoration company, and it just so happened that Dong Fei had opened a new bar that needed decoration, making him a potential client. However, no one was sure if they could secure this business, as many other decoration companies were also vying for it.
In this society, it was all about personal connections; otherwise, you couldn't get anywhere.
Although Lin Yi hadn't been in society for long, he deeply understood this. Sometimes, what was extremely difficult for you was just a word or a favor for someone else.
Lin Yi wasn't the type to play tricks behind the scenes. He had already called Brother Long to secretly use his connections.
Brother Long's exact words were: "Hehe, if my name can help my younger brother, feel free to use it."
A few words made Lin Yi feel warm inside, thinking that such a friend was truly invaluable.
Xiao Zhi, the sales department manager, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Boss Dong, I'm the Xiao who called you yesterday."
Xiao Zhi felt quite proud. He had gone through great lengths and relied on many connections to get in touch with Dong Fei, making a big impression in the company.
The new bar's business was a big deal, and the general manager, upon learning about it, personally came to discuss the business.
"Hmm?"
Dong Fei, sitting in the office chair, gave a lukewarm "hmm" and lazily looked at Lin Yi. His eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up from his chair with a "whoosh," causing the chair to creak.
Dong Fei walked around the desk, almost jogging, and extended his hands with a radiant smile, "Little brother, it's you? We just met last night."
"Hello, Boss Dong." Lin Yi nodded with a smile, surprised by Dong Fei's enthusiasm. It seemed Brother Long's influence was indeed significant.
He hadn't even mentioned Brother Long's name yet!
Dong Fei pretended to be displeased, "Little brother, you're being too formal. Just call me Brother Dong, or even Dong Heizi!"
Ning Keke and Xiao Zhi were stunned. What was going on?
Dong Fei was a billionaire with some dark background. What was he doing with Lin Yi, even letting him call him Dong Heizi?
The two looked at Lin Yi in surprise.
Dong Fei's next words were even more shocking.
"I don't even know your name yet. What brings you here today?"
It turned out Dong Fei didn't even know Lin Yi's name. Why was he being so enthusiastic?
"My name is Lin Yi. Today, I'm here with friends to discuss business with Brother Dong." Lin Yi smiled, feeling a bit uncomfortable but understanding that it was because of Brother Long.
"Friends? Discuss business?" Dong Fei's gaze shifted to Ning Keke and Xiao Zhi, and upon seeing the beautiful woman, he immediately understood.
Little Brother Lin was trying to woo this beautiful woman?
He didn't know that just half an hour ago, Lin Yi was still an employee of Ning Keke's company.
Dong Fei greeted the two and extended his hand, "Xiao? And this is?"
Ning Keke shook hands with Dong Fei and said with a smile, "Hello, Boss Dong. I'm the general manager of Tianyi Decoration Company, Ning Keke."
Dong Fei also smiled and said, "Since you're Little Brother Lin's friend, I can't let General Manager Ning come all this way for nothing. I'll tell my people to designate your company!"
Ning Keke was surprised and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Boss Dong."
She was also a bit confused about her "best friend's" network. What was going on?
Xiao Zhi, the sales department manager, was even more stunned. Was it that easy?
Lin Yi was also surprised by Dong Fei's directness and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Dong!"
"Don't be so formal. How about lunch together?" Dong Fei waved his hand, inviting Lin Yi and the others to lunch, as if he, Dong Heizi, was the one asking for a favor.
"Sure."
Lin Yi couldn't refuse Boss Dong's offer, after all, he had just given him face.
So, Lin Yi, Ning Keke, and Xiao Zhi stayed in Dong Fei's office for a while, discussing the decoration project and chatting.
At noon, Dong Fei booked a hotel, and they all had lunch together.
...
In the afternoon.
Lin Yi drove Ning Keke and Xiao Zhi back to the company. As he walked out of the company gate, he sighed in relief. From today on, he would completely leave this job behind!
Being a live streamer was his true calling!
Thinking about the low-tech world teleportation token he would soon use, Lin Yi began to prepare.
He drove his new car around Hai City, buying everything he thought might be useful... a massive shopping spree!
With money, you could be as whimsical as you wanted!
He secretly stored everything in the system's storage basket.
The system categorized these items as: Miscellaneous * 144,861.
In a short time, Lin Yi bought over ten thousand miscellaneous items, stuffing them all into his inventory. The shopping spree continued. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
